Well, I'm not sure what we're waiting for exactly, to be honest. Do you have an idea on how to implement this shared pool of objects in a platform independent (read: works under both UNIX and Win32) way?

    Well, I'm not sure what you mean with "objects."

    As Rasmus noted, we will need some flexible mechanism to
    provide modules with additional capabilities (i.e. on
    process/thread startup/shutdown events already exists, I
    needed on server startup/shutdown events). These fit well
    into the existing zend_module_entry structure.

    Stig mentioned portability problems wrt server capabilities,
    i.e.

        #define SAPI_PRE_FORK_START_HOOK
        #define SAPI_PROCESS_START_HOOK

    which allow modules to adapt their behaviour to possible
    configurations.

    I don't know what new features Apache 2 will introduce in
    this area, but we should take that into account. Maybe
    someone has pointers to papers about the new design of
    Apache.

We can't really rely on Apache though. We must use features available in all major servers. Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/ For a PGP public key, finger bourbon@netvision.net.il
